• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see “Technical Specifications”), dust
and moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device’s light output and any illuminated
surface.
• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC8).
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by
unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the
device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
4. Features
• PAR36 with 76 LEDs
• DMX-controlled through 4 channels or stand-alone function
• with wall mounting bracket
5. Overview
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
1
Power supply: 230VAC / 50Hz 4 Signal output: XLR connector connected with
next spot.
2 Fuse: 5 x 20mm F1A (order code: FF1N) 5 DMX-address switches: Stand alone function or
DMX setting.
3 Signal input: XLR connector connected
with a DMX512 control panel.
6. Installation
6.1 DMX-512 connections
• Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the VDPLPS36BP.
• Multiple VDPLPS36BPs can be linked through serial linking.
• The linking cable should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. See diagram:
Caution
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the
fixture or one fixture with another.
6.2 Occupation of the XLR-connector
• DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an
electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos).
• The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
• The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then
plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.
See illustrations on page 2.
6.3 Projector DMX start address selection
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the device.
